Ballroom Dancing Basic Jumping into ballroom for the first time? Try these tactics to feel at home on the dance floor. 
From Classroom to ClubWhether you are taking ballroom for the first time or brushing up on the basics,work should take place both in and outside the studio.If you can,pack in the lessons-both private and group partnering classes-so that you have less time to pick up bad habits.If you want to pratice at home,try not to practice those uncertain moves,so you won't memorize steps incorrectly.Practice with many partners,this will not only prevent you from falling into a comfort zone,but also challenge you to find the perfect complement. Once you feel good about your progress-and have a partner you feel comfortable with-practice in a social setting like a dance club or salsa party at a dance studio,so you can learn how to dance in a crowd dance floor,know how to keep the tempo while maneuvering around other couples.Follow The LeaderOne of the biggest challenges facing female ballroom neophytes is learning how to follow the man's lead one the dance floor.Avoid these five common mistake and you will be on your way to forming the perfect ballroom partnership.
Lifeless arms,soft shoulders and a body lacking in energy makes it difficult for the guy to lead.A good follower should have resistance in her arms;When her partner pushes,she should respond. When the leader pushes, the follower should respond,or follow,but not push,even though that may be a natural reaction to having someone enter her space. This sounds almost too easy,but,the fact is,most women love to lead,and there can't be two leaders.So ladies, try not to help your guy,if he leads the dance wrong,do it wrong.That's following. Even if you think you know where the dance could take you,wait for your partner to take you there.The fun part of ballroom dancing is not knowing what's next,but creating movement based on the message your partner sends. Beginning women tend to hold their upper bodies too far back and push their pelvis forward,which translates as bad posture and an unconnected upper and lower body.A strong core and upright posture is important in all styles, but it's necessary to learn different postures and arm holds of each dance.For instance, Waltz have a much bigger frame compare to Rumba's more compact frame.
